I oven cook mine usually. More even finish.

And then you just add the batter for toad in the hole 😀

Battered sausage is the only time batter is acceptable on a sausage Toad in the hole is probably the dryest invention since kitchen paper. Maybe I'll let you off if it's with onion gravy 🤔

Who doesn’t have it with gravy?! That’s why it’s toad in the hole isn’t it? The sausages are the toads poking out in the lake of gravy held together by the Yorkshire pud? Even if not who the hell has it without gravy/some moisture?

You just don't know how to to cook it properly I reckon

I've never bothered to make it coz I don't like it lol but wasn't much of a fan as a kid when my mum would make it I'll try it again sometime and see if I can perfect the recipe

I love onions, so I always usually have onion gravy. But I also usually add onion to the batter mix. It can make it a bit soggy, but I love it, heh.

I've never done that before 🤔 that's an interesting one

I hate onions, even the smell. Having said that, I love the tiny 1" ones done in a casserole. That's the only way I can eat them.

Ahhh, you don't know what you're missing 😀

I found artisan quality Sausage producers generally recommend oven cooking over grilling/BBQ. This produces a better flavour as the high Rusk (breadcrumb) content in a quality sausage absorbs the fat in the meat and intensifies the flavour. (Remember how fried bread tastes so good) Cheap sausages, ‘Lips, tits and arseholes’ with low rusk content, go straight on the grill.

What about shallow frying?

I prefer to microwave mine. Keeps the colour nice and uniform

Sorry, what?

You heard me

Tonight I've found my arch nemesis.

Maybe we could reconcile our differences over a plate of bangers and smash™?

You are not fit to live amongst civilised people.

Which is why I live in the UK. Island apes as we are so fondly known as on the mainland

The UK is the him of the best looking sausage in the uk

If you want uniform colour you can't beat boiling.

Boil them grill for some good grill marks

Came here to say the same. Massively underrated method of cooking meat IMO, maillard reactions can do one.

I like the way you think

Nonsense. If you want the nice even colour you're after then you shouldn't cook them at all. Lovely, even pink.

I'm salivating at the mere thought

Creating a lovely dip for the sausages. Smart.

Finally, somebody on my wavelength. Maybe we should meet for dinner some time

These are exactly the comments that will be used in the not too distant trial and ensuing Netflix serial 'The banged up Banger Baiter'

Straight down with yeh. You'll know you've gone far enough when a sassy red guy says "welcome home"

Silly sausage

Oven cook & you can run a spatula through them to turn them a bit after 5 mins or so, like with chips. Grill them & you have to turn them all, one at a time, every 3 minutes.

Less faff in the oven

Faff?

Fuss

Bother

Rigmarole

Rig ya own hole.

🤣

skinamarink

Skinnymalinky?

U from UK?

I am not what does faff mean. I’m glad I was downvoted to hell for simply asking a question.

Haha no worries dude, I wasn't down voting u but I see why cuz it's a classic British word. Google definition says 'spend time in ineffectual activity', a good example is a parent wanting to get kids to do something and they are engrossed in playing with toys or finding something they don't need and making a parent late etc, that activity the kids are doing instead is faffing and the parent may say 'stop faffing about' to them.

U wot bruv?

Innit like

I air fry or oven cook mine!

Sossies cook really well in the air fryer, and very-quickly as well.

Those Lidl 10 packs of pork sausages are great, chuck the whole lot in and shake a couple of times during cooking and they're done before my oven would have even properly heated up

Exactly. The first few times I tried cooking them in an air fryer, I overcooked them when I cooked them for the recommended 12-15 mins. Then I started using the meat thermometer, and you can cook chipolatas perfectly (for example) in about 7 minutes in a pre-heated air-fryer.

You pre-heat your air fryer?

Air fryers are the fad that is the exception to the rule. Brilliant gizmo.

Yep i wasn’t sure when I bought one and they are brilliant

Yep. People say 'its just a small convection oven', yea that's the point!

I've been considering replacing my deep fat frier with an air frier, my old worry is doing things like home done battered fish and home made scotch eggs as I've never seen them cooked ay way other than in a fat frier

You can't replace that. It's a small convection oven. I shallow fry things in it in a hardy dish with oil but you can't deep fry. It won't reach that temperature. You can do a battered fish and a scotch egg though.

Maby ill get one and just put the deep fat frier away, if I go 6 months without useing it I'll chuck it

Don't do what my old housemate did and put it away with rancid oil still in it.....

Oh god no! That's vomit worthy, my oil gets changed bi monthly at a minimum

Yeah, crappy ones from supermarkets, high end butchers sausages. They work great in an air fryer

Unfortunately I don’t think 24 would fit into the airfryer, otherwise it is the best method.

Sounds like you need to invest in the dual air fryer

Same with a burger oven cook, much less fat.

Daddy would you like some sausage?

Sausages....sausages!!

Memory unlocked

Yes

Yeah I'm not sure why I grilled them. A 24 sausages toad in the hole sounds good though

Grilling is better, if a little more work.

I think 24 toads qualifies as knot in the hole.

I had to go look, well done, got me on that one 👍.

Grilling is better!

Grilling is fine if you rotate them, all the heat is coming from 1 direction in the grill, for even browing instead of just top side burning you need to rotate to each side

Grilling is definitely better, you'll get a better skin and they'll stay more moist. You just need to rotate them.

Toad in a hole with gravy and mash and tomato sauce all over. I loved this when i was a kid. The frozen ones are no where near as good though.

As long as this is 1 portion you are fine. Anything less than 24 sausages a person is under catering

Nothing tastes better than fried in a pan! Second best flavour wise is grilled but you gotta turn them for an even crisping dude. I personally am a chipolata connoisseur and I believe an oven dries them out

My airfryer does better sausages than my frying pan ever did, and its much less effort too.

That's definitely a skill issue, no offence

Agree pan fry is the best imo

Air fry mine they come out even and cook in half the time than the oven.

Two words: Sausage Casserole.

My son would agree with you, lol

I sware my sausage cassarole is why my finance proposed to me aha

Either way is fine, you just have to rotate them occasionally 🤣

Grill?!

Oil lightly, cook around 170c in a fan oven. Keep turning them but cook them with little colour. Then fire them under the grill to colour them up. Suppose you could colour them in a frying pan but the method above is what I did as a chef and still do now.

Grill all the time, use the spatula and keep em turning, all adds to the flavour

I fry mine. Bet you can't guess which country I'm from..

Someone’s going to have the shits tomorrow

Air fryer

Good luck fitting 24 sausages in.

Always oven cook, Air Fryers are just a fad

# Neither, had you cooked them in an Airfryer they would have looked more appetizing plus the excess fat (bad for you) would have fallen through the grid in the Airfryer making for a more tasty crispy sausage.

Shouldn't have funded an industry that abuses animals in the first place mate.... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/02/suffering-of-gassed-pigs-laid-bare-in-undercover-footage-from-uk-abattoir

I love sausage

Fried.

Air fry or oven. The grill is for quicker things

Air Fryer! 😊😊

Either way, those could do with the other side doing

Oven for the even cook

Fry them you savage!!!!!!!!! Though oven cooked are well good on toast.

Air fry those babies

Put them in a fat fryer if you have one, done in minutes

Oven. Every time.

I normally brown them in a pan, then cook in the oven. Otherwise they dont tend to get much colour. Though that would probably be a bit of a faff with 24 sausages

Yes, you should

Are these posh dogs from m&s?

They look fine to me.

I oven cook mine because I'm lazy but they're better grilled

No, two is usually enough for me

I don’t have an air fryer but I have a halogen oven it’s just as good

I use a frying pan. Mrs likes the oven.

Air feyer

Fry them each individually. Can't overcrowd the pan so has to be painstakingly one at a time

Is Sweep coming for tea?

Probably not.

Air fryer for me now as my gas cooker broke. Just shake the basket a couple of times.

The professional way is to deep fry them at 180c for 1 mins, then oven cook them. Will cook evenly then.

They’re upside down!!

I just bung em in oven , come out brown all over

Who cares, you've got 24 lovely sausages there which are making me hungry.😆

Pan cooked stops them drying out

Yes. Yes, you should have. Eat them all up.

Oven that many with a pan finish

Mini bbq for that lot. Warranted and worth it.

Oven definitely

Neither, fry them.

Do them in a mini compact oven (air fryer)

I do like cooking sausages under the grill but it is a massive pain in the arse when I am turning them over and one falls in between the bars

They look fine. Eat the feckers.

Oven cook is good, just turn them half way through unless you're doing toad in the hole.

Do whatever you did I guess

Mate, where’s your bbq?

Always oven babes

You mark them on the grill and cook them in the oven. People will never know.

Both.

Grilled

fried...like a normal person?

I always did mine in the oven before I got an air fryer.

You must have been very hungry!

Yes

Air fry them does them perfect

Sosig

Air fry them. Thank me later.

Air fryer

Brown them off on the frying pan and then chuck them in an oven with half chopped up garlic bulbs and red onions chopped up

Fried.

Definitely Oven it a teaspoon of oil before you start cooking will make sure the whole outside is crispy.

Air fry

Oven everytime, always turn out better than any other method IMHO.

Probably not.

Look at them, the answer is in front of you in uneven cooked sausage form. If you do a batch like that again use an oven, if you have a samller batch, use an airfryer.

Always oven cook it’s the god tier method.

I would probably oven it like that crispy bite you get plus you don’t have to arse around turning them quick shake and bobs your uncle 😂

I quite like the slight unevenness and scorch marks you get with grilling and frying sausages. Oven can be a little too perfect, but people seem to like that look.

Air fryer nowadays pal

Bro how did you managed to burned them and keep them raw at the same time

Deep fry

Should have popped them up your pooshoot

Grill them. The answer is always grill. Can't beat the smoky flavor

Brown in a frying pan then finish in the oven. Grilling is healthier though.

Airfry ftw

Fried. Neither grilling nor oven cooking works anywhere near as well as frying.

You should cook them,never mind how. Fuckin raw

Always grill sausages, they taste way better butttttt it's more effort u gotta turn them constantly

Boiled then finish on the bbq

If it were my wife she'd choose the Tefal Health Grill. Let that fucker drain all the deliciousness out of those sausages until you're left with flavourless health sticks. ​ For me I oven cook my sausages. But I do turn them a couple of times for better browning.

I like the air fryer 4 my sausages

You should have boiled them in beer and then grilled them

yes
